What is an umbilical hernia? An umbilical hernia is a bulge through the abdominal muscles in the area of the navel (belly button). The hernia may contain tissue from the abdomen, part of an organ (such as the intestine), or fluid.
Other causes of the iliac crest pain may also be in the form of pain and swelling in the hip caused by the injury to the pelvis area and also injury of the iliolumbar ligament. Stopping the activities related to pain might be beneficial and act as a remedy for iliac crest pain.
I used to have a similar pain in my right hip joint that I no longer have. This Iliac Crest pain seems to have taken over that one, if that makes sense. I DO have a herniated L4, L5, but this started before I herniated the discs (I remember the exact moment I bent over and the discs ripped). I do have slight scoliosis.
